When editing, is all footage usable when making a video?

Hey! I'm a video editor that edits mainly gaming/Minecraft videos. So far, editing my own videos and some other's video has been quite well and good. Some more difficult than others

Though i think I've stumbled upon a video request, that i don't think I can follow through.

I've always been able to spin up a type of video with what I have, but this request doesn't have much I can work with.

I've been able to create an intro and a sort of style to it, but going through more and more of the video, I can't find any other usable footage as it's all just them hanging out and talking.

Should I try looking for a better way to tackle this or should I just tell them that I can't edit the video for them?

I think I make good, improving videos... But the thumbnails/titles absolutely SUCK

Recently I've been noticing an increase on retention rates and overall viewer satisfaction, but I've also been seeing a decrease in CTR and Reach... Which understandably so, I can fault the title and thumbnail for that.

Is there a way that I can improve on making better thumbnails that DON'T look like what I have now, or look like a slop channel?
